How to Set Up Outline on iPhone
Setting up TOKVPN on an iPhone takes about five minutes and three steps: install the free Outline app from the App Store, copy your key from your TOKVPN dashboard, then paste it into Outline and tap Connect. Once connected, every app on the phone runs through your dedicated US home IP address.
- Outline is a free, open-source app made by Jigsaw, a unit of Google. It is available for iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows.
- You do not create an account with Outline. You paste the key we give you.
- Your key is in your TOKVPN dashboard immediately after payment. No password: you sign in with a link sent to your email.
- One key works on your phone, laptop and tablet at the same time, and always uses the same US address.
- $9 per month per US home, or $69 per year. No data caps, cancel anytime, 7-day money-back.
- Stuck? Email hello@biel.llc. We reply within 24 hours.
Before you start
You need an active TOKVPN subscription. After you pay, we email you a sign-in link and your key appears in your dashboard at tokvpn.app/dashboard. There's no configuration to fill in, and nothing arrives by post or in a file.
Step 1: install Outline from the App Store
Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for Outline. Install the free app published by Jigsaw. There's no sign-up inside it.
Step 2: copy your key from your dashboard
Open tokvpn.app/dashboard in Safari and sign in with the email address you paid with. We send a link to that address. Tap it and you're signed in, on any device. Your dashboard shows your US home and your connection key, with a Copy button next to it.
Copy the key. Treat it like a password: it's what connects your device to your address, so don't post it anywhere or send it to anyone.
Step 3: paste it into Outline and connect
Open Outline and add the key you copied. The app reads it and your US home appears in the list. Tap Connect.
The first time you connect, iOS asks for permission to add a VPN configuration. That prompt is normal, and it's how every VPN app works on iPhone. Allow it and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. When the connection is up, a VPN indicator appears in the iPhone status bar.
That's the whole setup. Leave the connection on while you post, browse or stream, and turn it off when you're done.
Check that it worked
Open Safari and go to any IP lookup site. Two things should be true: the country shown is the United States, and the network or organization named is a consumer internet provider rather than a hosting or cloud company. The second line is the one to check: it separates a residential address from a data-center one. Your dashboard also shows the US address assigned to you.
Android, Mac and Windows
The same key works everywhere, so there is nothing extra to buy or configure. Download Outline for your platform from the Outline website or your app store, open it, paste the same key and connect. On Android you'll be asked to allow a VPN connection the first time, the same way iOS asks. On Mac and Windows you may be asked for your system password when the app installs its connection.
You can stay connected on several devices at once with one key. They all share the same US address, so your phone and your laptop look like the same home.
Troubleshooting
The key is not accepted
Copy it again from the dashboard with the Copy button rather than selecting it by hand, so nothing is cut off or padded with a space.
It connects but pages do not load
Disconnect and reconnect. If your phone is on a captive wifi network, a hotel or airport portal, sign in to that network first, then connect.
An app still shows your old country
Some apps cache your location. Fully close and reopen the app after connecting. Your device language and time zone are separate settings the app can read, and connecting does not change them.
Nothing above helps
Email hello@biel.llc from the address you paid with. We answer within 24 hours, and if we can't get it working for you within your first 7 days, you get your money back in full.
What happens next
Your address stays the same every day. If you run more than one account, buy one US home per account so they never share an address. Why that matters: dedicated IP VPN vs shared VPN, and for the platform side, TikTok VPN for creators outside the US.
